Vintage Cox Blue Angels F/A-18 Hornet – .049 Engine Powered Control Line Airplane – Excellent Used Condition in Undamaged Original Box! For sale is a classic piece of modeling history: the Cox Blue Angel (F/A-18 Hornet version), a highly detailed control-line (flying line) model airplane from the legendary Military Series by Cox Products, Inc. (Corona, CA). This iconic kit dates from the late 1980s / early 1990s and captures the sleek look and spirit of the U.S. Navy Blue Angels demonstration team aircraft. Condition highlights: • Very good used / lightly flown condition – the plane itself looks excellent with bright blue & yellow factory paint, minimal to no visible wear, clean decals (still on the original sheet – uncut / unused in the photos), intact canopy, landing gear, shock-absorbing tank mount, responsive elevator control, and all small parts present. • The famous Cox .049 glow engine with patented Snap Starter™ and Quiet Zone muffler is included and appears complete (never heavily run based on appearance – ready for a fresh tank of fuel and a test run). • Comes in the undamaged original full-color box – strong corners, vivid graphics almost no fading, no major tears, creases or water damage. The classic “YOU FLY!” artwork with action shots still pops beautifully – a fantastic display piece even if you never fly it. • Includes: original assembly & flight manual, safety/warning sheet, decal sheet (complete, uncut), landing gear assembly (pre-wired wheels), control lines (appears factory-wound), small hardware pack, and the plane itself ready for final assembly/flying. • Note: As with all these classic Cox models, the separate Cox 400 Starting Kit (batteries, fuel, etc.) is required but not included – easy to source or already owned by most modelers. This was one of Cox’s premium ready-to-fly / easy-assembly control-line trainers – perfect for beginners and experienced pilots alike. At 15” wingspan, powered by the reliable .049 engine, it offers quick, easy starts, quiet flight, long tank runs, and impressive aerobatic performance on the lines (loops, wing-overs, inverted flight – true Blue Angels style!). A wonderful collectible for fans of vintage Cox, control-line flying, U.S. Navy aviation history, or 1980s/90s toy/model nostalgia. These turn up less and less in such nice original-box condition. Perfect gift for the modeler in your life – or treat yourself to a piece of childhood flying fun! Ask any questions – happy to send more detailed photos. Serious buyers only – no trades.
